MOBOTIX has announced a heightened focus on cyber security by implementing the‘Cactus Concept’. The concept aims to deliver a comprehensive approach towards protecting MOBOTIX productsagainst the threat of cyber attacks along with education and tools to help customers and partners alike in building and maintainingsecure video surveillance and access control environments.

The ‘Cactus Concept’ will raise awareness among potential and existing MOBOTIX customers of the importance of data security in network-based video security systems and how organisations can protect themselves through cost-efficient and intelligent solutions. End-to-end encryption with no blind spots is required, from the image source via the data cables and the data storage through to the VMS on the end user’s computer.

Like a cactus, whose every limb is covered in thorns, all of the modules (camera, storage, cables, VMS) in the MOBOTIX system have ‘digital thorns’ that protect them from unauthorised access.

“Modern video surveillance and access control technologies help protect people, places and property across the world, but they’re increasingly targeted by criminals aiming to infiltrate, take-over or disable them,” explained Thomas Lausten, CEO of MOBOTIX. “With the Internet of Things trend adding billions of IP-connected devices each year, our industry must lead the way in creating secure platforms that can reduce the risks posed by these damaging attacks.”

MOBOTIX firmly believes in its ‘Cactus Concept’ to protect every element of the design, manufacture and operation of each device along with end-to-end encryption across the entire usage and management cycle.

Sebastian Schreiber, CEO at SySS, added: “MOBOTIX has a contract with us to provide further penetration testing of its technology elements. The initial platform testing on a current camera model revealed very positive results. We’ll now continue security testing as an ongoing process.”

Thomas Lausten concluded: “Cyber security has been and will continue to be a core focus for us. We look forward to working with our peers in the industry, as well as customers and Government agencies, in order to protect the very technologies and systems that help make society safer for us all.”
